10 Things Better Than Pumpkin Spice
Tang's Photo Memories

I fully support pumpkin spice lattes--do not get me wrong. What I do not support is how once September first hits, everything under the sun suddenly turns into pumpkin, candles, coffee, and candy. While pumpkin is pretty fantastic, there are so many other Fall things we seem to forget. So just in case you are not aware, here are some things that can compete with pumpkin spice.

1. Apple Cider

Seriously, how can you forget apple cider? Hot or cold, it is perfect for a Fall day.

2. Pumpkin Patches

Yes, I said pumpkin, but you should totally go see where the pumpkin spice lattes get their pumpkin flavor. Plus, the pumpkin patch makes for super cute insta photos with your friends or partner.

3. Corn Mazes

Getting lost in a corn maze can make for a giant game of Marco Polo with your squad.

4. Haunted Houses

While I am not a huge fan of haunted houses, they are rather cheap and can make for a great night out after a few drinks.

5. Going Apple Picking

Hello, picking your own apples. I have a great apple pie recipe you could make.

6. Hay Rides

Once again, they are super cheap and another place for super cute pictures.

7. Cool Weather

You will not be sweating on the walk to class. Instead the air will be crisp and smell like fall.

8. Having a Bonfire

Who does not love sitting around the fire with friends roasting marshmallows?

9. S'MORES

Okay, it is in the name--s'mores make you want more.

10. Dressing up for Halloween

Costumes can be thrown together with things you have laying around your house. Pass out candy or just walk around your neighborhood!

PSLs are undeniably amazing, but there is more to Fall than pumpkin. Please enjoy those other amazing alternatives!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
